I am currently writing a XSL-FO style sheet to
convert a XML file into a PDF document.

A small section of my XML is:

<change>
<description>
<p>Meeting or conference name used as a main
entry in a bibliographic record.</p>
<p>According to various cataloging rules, main
entry under a meeting name is assigned to works
that contain proceedings, reports, etc.</p>
</description>
</change>

I am trying to use <fo:float> to create a
vertical line that runs along the left margin of
the text surrounded by the <change> element.

But you cannot measure the length of the line to use.


XSL-FO 1.0 did not have sufficient semantics to
support what you need, and these were introduced
in XSL-FO 1.1.  The incomplete (and for many,
insufficient) work-around in XSL-FO 1.0 is to
turn on the left or right border of a surrounding
block ... but XSL-FO 1.0 does not have concepts
of "inside" or "outside" border, just left and right.

I hope this helps.
